James Lyon, 7th Earl of Strathmore (circa 1702 – 1735) was a Scottish peer and freemason.

He was the son of John Lyon, 4th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne and Lady Elizabeth Stanhope. He was christened on 24 December 1702.

On 6 March 1731 he married Mary Oliphant, daughter of Charles Oliphant (brother of William Oliphant, 11th Lord Oliphant). He died without issue on 4 January 1735 at Edinburgh, Scotland.

He was succeeded as earl by his younger brother, Thomas Lyon, 8th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne.
